Vancouver Renewable Buildings BUILDEX Express
- 1. Vancouver: Renewable and replicable BUILDEX Express November 3, 2016 Karen Tam Wu Director, Buildings and Urban Solutions Program Pembina Institute
- 2. The Pembina Institute – Leading Canada’s transition to a clean energy future We are a national non-profit think tank that advances clean energy solutions through research, education, consulting and advocacy.
- 3. Emissions from buildings Nearly 25% carbon pollution nationally 12% carbon pollution in BC Nearly 50% emissions in cities Photo: Wikipedia

- 5. YIMBY - The low carbon economy already in action in our backyard
- 6. The opportunity for Canada Green building industry in Canada = nearly 300,000 full time jobs $1 invested on energy efficiency = $5 - $8 return to economy Energy efficiency programs could increase Canada’s annual GDP $19 - $48 billion and create 121,000 - 304,000 new jobs per year

- 18. Key recommendations Revise building codes to put Canada on track to meet the emissions reduction goals Track and report of energy consumption in homes and buildings Use public money to leverage private investment and incentivize action Lead by example pembina.org/pub/bold-plan-for-buildings
- 19. The next 12-18 months Work with all levels of government to drive to implementation of plans to achieve near zero energy/emissions buildings Federally: a strong vision and leadership that creates solid framework for sub-nationals (pan- Canadian framework) Provincially: advocating for policies that will put teeth in climate plan Locally: encourage and support municipalities to be leaders and provide upwards pressure (e.g. step code adoption, benchmarking)

Editor's Notes
- Study done for NRCAN Returns 2.7 and 2.0 billion respectively in tax revenue to feds and provinces
- By 2050, 2x floor space and increase emissions by 30% in BC Green buildings jobs in BC already = 23,000; and ~10,000 green buildings; ambitious action and strong policy will ensure this grows both in BC and Canada
- This is cutting edge energy efficiency in Vancouver. You can heat one of their 500SF units with a hairdryer; estimated costs to heat = about $60 per YEAR. A tangible example of what a low carbon world looks like and of the type of buildings and innovation we are asking for are being built already by leaders in this sector. We need to see energy efficiency of this magnitude scaled up – move from niche to the norm. There are already 23,000 jobs in the green building sector in BC alone; and over 10,000 green homes and buildings; we need this sector to keep growing. Just breaking ground around the corner from my house. This will be one of the first passive MURBs in Vancouver; It’s probably fair to say that BC is leading edge in its talks with municipalities to develop a “better than base-code” option that cities can adopt, enabling accelerated uptake of energy efficiency requirements And Ontario is leading on requiring energy use tracking and reporting from building. ON also just announced $2billion (to be raised from C/T) to fund home retrofits; fuel switching (from gas to geothermal) and Evs. These are examples of where using provincial examples of leadership and vision to inform options put on the table at federal level; working at federal and provincial level allows for us to build leverage and/or pressure from bottom up (e.g. BC can’t implement leading edge building code if the feds don’t support it) and top down (feds can support provincial programs and also bring up the minimum acceptable standard of energy efficiency requirements)
- Study done for NRCAN Returns 2.7 and 2.0 billion respectively in tax revenue to feds and provinces
- Approach: improve quickly the energy performance of new construction. Assume we start buildings net-zero energy ready by 2020, and then require it for all new construction by 2025 Result: 25% of total floor space should be net-zero ready by 2030; 60% in 2050.
- We have track record for rigorous research, meaningful convening, and effective advocacy Partner with provincial and municipal governments, developers, architects, industry associations, utilities and other NGOs We are a recognised leader on buildings in the NGO world Examples: Two years ago, our BUS strategy said we have no relationship with Urban Development Institute; last year, we held successful TLF; partnered with UDI on them on Call for Action; City of Van Passive House; BC Hydro on existing buildings advocacy; UDI & Architecture Canada on Call for Action; often the only NGO at advisory committee tables otherwise dominated by industry We are seen as a leader on policy development, convening and advocacy; and has also prompted federal government staff to invite input. This has helped prompt the coalition of NGOs who are engaged on the nascent federal buildings working group to invite Pembina Institute to participate and help lead on content and recommendations. Act when the opportunity to influence policy exists – when government has signalled its appetite to take significant steps forward. Provide high-impact policy solutions based on sound research and analysis. These solutions should include concrete goals and roadmaps to achieve those goals that have been developed with broad support. Demonstrate the viability and scalability by highlighting best practices in other jurisdictions (e.g. municipalities with leading-edge policies/regulations; developers building to leading-edge standards) Build support from key sector stakeholders to widen the support for political action and to gain commitment to implementation from government and others.
- Call for Action in BC Much of our inspiration for federal ask was informed and inspired by other jurisdictions, and parallels well, therefore leverages well, with what we’re asking for in BC Declare an emissions target for buildings (we recommend NNZ by 2030 and halving emissions by 2030) Show government leadership and commitment - require new public buildings be super energy efficient and upgrade existing buildings Launch “exemplary building” pilot program to test drive energy efficient designs and stimulate market place Track and report energy use revising building codes to put Canada on track to meet the emissions reduction goals; establishing and implementing policies, programs and regulations that encourage (and subsequently require) tracking and reporting of energy consumption in homes and buildings; and creating financing and incentive programs that accelerate construction of new high-performance buildings and major retrofits of existing buildings.
- Triple squarefootage Quadruple number of units 25% of all projects will be in Vancouver
- Problem Local climate leadership led to patchwork of green building policies Solution Provincially-designed opt-in energy performance requirements Principles Implementation through partnerships “Envelope first” approach Measure performance Framework valid for next 10+ years
- Energy audits and home retrofits Retrofit of social housing
- Last week - We’re wasteful,” McKenna said. “When you look at where emissions are coming from: buildings and vehicles. Those are huge areas, where If we have efficiency standards, we can produce less pollution
